Etsy Christmas Favorites that are Available Now!

I like to get a head start on my Christmas decor and shopping and so I headed to my favorite online store: Etsy! Are you an Etsy fan, too? I am all about artists and their handmade goodness, especially at Christmas. Support homemade!!

I am in love with Christmas plaid, so these really caught my eye. The Santa Sack continues in our family, even though our kids are grown! Apply the CHRISTMASJULY discount code to receive 20% discount off $10 or more! I love it when my favorite sellers come through for us!

Again, you are planning early, so creating these adorable little ornaments will be a breeze! Perfect for packages, neighbors and of course, your own tree!

And here it is, the Christmas Planner that I just love! Pages and pages (72 to be exact) of Christmas helpfulness! And for Christmas Tree Lane readers, you can apply the discount code of 5MONTHSTOGO to get 15% off $10 or more purchase! Isn't that nice!! Tell Joleen I sent you!

Doesn't Christmas make you feel all giddy! I think these items are really nice! I love the Santa bags, they're totally perfect for the kids! The wreath is awesome as well, I could use a few as decorations around the house!

I love Etsy - full of gorgeous little pieces! Love these Christmas items although do I really have to think about the festive season now?! haha I am terrible, always last minute, so maybe I should take this opportunity to get a little more organised this year round!

Great ideas! When I was a little girl, my Dad directed summer camps, and we always had a big Christmas party on the 25th of July. I'd love to reinstitute the tradition someday. (Sorry, seeing this post in the middle of the summer made me nostalgic.)

Layer ingredients, in order listed, into (4 quart or larger) crockpot. Turn the pot on low and cover with a lid. After two hours, remove lid and stir to combine. Replace lid and check again in 30 minutes. When all ingredients are melted, stir to combine. Ladle spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to sit up - 1 hour.Thanks, Aunt Patsy!

My Must Try for This Year!!

Easy Fudge

1 bag chocolate chips

1 can sweetened condensed milk

4 T butter

1 t vanilla

1/2 t salt

Microwave butter, chips and milk, in 30 second intervals, stirring between timings. When all is melted stir in vanilla and salt. Stir well. Pour into a foil lined and buttered 8 by 8" pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove from pan, remove foil. Cut into 1" pieces.
